Last Saturday I went to a workshop called "Colour in Design". Taught byKaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably, both famous for their bold use of colour and pattern, the main purpose of the class was for people to get out of their comfort zone and start using colour without any fears or restraints. The day was centered around the quilt "Mexican Party", included in Kaffe's book Quilts en Provence: each person brought along their fabrics in order to produce their own interpretation of the quilt's design. It was very interesting to see the different versions and to hear the teachers' comments on each of them. I don't think I'll go ahead with my quilt (in the penultimate photo) because I feel the fabrics I chose weren't the most appropriate for such a design... we'll see.
